Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I understand completely. Some of my best ideas came while I was sitting quietly in the smallest room in the house.

"Hard blocked" means a hardware-related problem.

Is this a laptop? Remove the battery and press the power button to fully discharge it. Replace the battery and try again.

Thanks, rcrsn51. This is the kind of stuff I like to know!

I added EDIT to instructions above. If anyone is having trouble setting up VPN let me know.

Show the files in /usr/local/apps in a RoxFiler window.

Drag the Trash icon to the desktop.

Thanks, williams2. I guess my 70+ year old brain wasn't working last night. That's the first place I looked, but just didn't see it. It was there this morning!

Just when I thought I had most "Puppy Things" figured out, I "lost" my Trash Icon on the Desktop. I accidentally deleted it thinking I was emptying the Trash. How do I recover it? I looked in all the typical places, but can't seem to find it.

I'm learning more about Puppy every day. I finally got a bootable USB of my custom puppy working. Thanks Guys.

Installed extra memory and now have 4G in my old Dell Vostro 1400. Everything looks good and Fire Fox is working well.

I did a search on firefox here, but didn't find any help. Computer is Dell Vostro 1400. I have similar problem on daughter's Dell Vostro 1500. Any ideas? Both are running Bionic Puppy 32.

Thanks, Wizard. I tested my USB this morning and did a pupsave, but I don't see it on the usb. Where do I look? It may have saved to my internal HD, but not sure yet. I'm still a Puppy linux newbie even though I used Puppy version 5 years ago. I haven't kept up with it.

Thanks, Wizard. I couldn't make your instructions work. However, I did (finally) find my custom puppy iso file from my earlier remaster. I flashed it to usb and it booted and, appears to be working ok. I'll test it more tomorrow.

I went through the entire Wizard. It just ended after it "finished".

My pleasure, Captain.
Aye, it's like "remaster" but I never tried it.

Well, I must have missed something. I went through the remaster and it indicated it was creating an iso file. But when the program ended, no new iso file was found.

Thanks. This is definitely more difficult than I imagined. I'll try remastering first.

Wow! You're quicker that my edit. I'd like to keep the USB in FAT32 so I can use it on daughter's window's computer.

Thanks, sonny. Is there a quick way to do it in Puppy? I'd like to keep the USB in FAT32 so I can use it on daughter's window's computer.

Well, I finally got my Bionic Puppy (Frugal Install) exactly where I like it!

How do I make a bootable USB of my Puppy so I can use it on other computers? It would also serve as a backup.
I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this...I just have not found it.

That’s a threat to “national security”, I mean “our freedom”.

We’re being dictated from when to pause and update, stop and restart, to when to buy a new computer.

I wholeheartedly agree, sonny. Our freedoms are being threatened. Wake up America!

I knew we were kindred souls!! Don't get me started on Windows. My last Windows OS was XP and only because some of my proprietary engineering software would only run on 98 or XP.

This is an old scam...been around for years!

You're right! Maybe I should have used ruse, ploy, or scheme instead of scam. My point is that this way of "selling" free software (usually at excessive prices) has been widely used ever since 5 1/4" floppies were available.
